BECKY HICKS MISS LANGLEY’S WINTER COAT

The Hereford has always been my favorite breed of cattle to paint. When I was growing up I spent most my summers on our family’s ranch and the Hereford was their breed of choice. against the landscape in any season. Their coats are longer and thicker in the winter. I was visiting a ranch on that January day and was so inspired by the color of her coat against the gray skies and landscape. The moment I saw her, I knew she would become the subject of one of my paintings. Her name comes from the family that owns the ranch where she grazes the pastures. The red and white coats of the Hereford cattle are so beautiful
